Only one or two articles OF furniture were

We are under many obligations to our
young friend, Mackey King, OF 5fBelton
Township, for bucket of large. delicious
,scuppernong grapes. Such treats are al
ways acceptable and highly appreciated.
The vine from which the grapes were
gathered is about forty years old, and
hardly ever fails to. bear q good crop.
The Pickens Sentinel, of last week, says: ::
'.Rey, A. ,P. Nicholson and family, Of

them. We congratulate Anderson on the
valuable acquisition. Mr.. Nicholson will
still have, pastoral. charge of the same

5 The daily freight train has again been
put onsthe B. r. r. r., running through
from Columbia, and q considerable change
has BEEN; made In the schedule. The up-.
train passes here at $40 a. M, and the
down.train at Ills q. m. Last winter
the freight train was convenience to
people living along the Road, but the
present schedule does not suit them at all.
Attention is directed to the advertise
ment of Kellett & VanWyck, who have
formed q copartnership and opened up
stock of furniture and coffins in the store
room next door to Brownlee & Browns.
Their goods have been brought direct
from the manufacturer, and they guaran-
tee satisfaction both in prices aud quality.
We bespeak for thema liberal share of the
public patronage.
Bleckley, Brown d Fretwell's new ad-
vertisement In this issue deserves care
full perusal by every one Of our readers, as
it contains information that will interest
the public. This firm has bought an inn
mense stock of fall and winter goods, and
they are going to sell them, too. They
keep almost anything you may need to
wear or eat. Their advertisement also
contains a few words of timely warning
to those who are indebted to them.
. Our townsman, Mr.. w. G. Andrew, re-
ceiyed telegram last Saturday morning
conveying the sad news of the death of
his father, Capt. W. T. Andrew, which
occurred at his home in Elbert County,
Ca, on Friday evening. Mr.. Andrew left
Immediately to attend the funeral, which
occurred Sunday morning. Capt. Au-
drew died suddenly Of apoplexy. Hewas
one of Ebert County's most estimable
citizens, and his death is great loss to
that County.
Read the new advertisement Of the Sui
Ivan Hardware Company. This Compa-
ny is composed of three brothers, who
are full of energy, enterprise and zeal.
Their store now ranks among the leading
hardware establishments of the State, and
they are daily extending their business
territory. Recently they sold large en-
CINE in middle Georgia and cotton gin
in North Carolina: This season they have
sold dozen or more cotton gins and
about twenty cane mills. They take
|. great pleasure in showing their goods and
quoting prices.
+ The schedule Of the morning passenger
train on the Blue Ridge division Of the
C. q G. Railroad, has been changed 80 as
to leave Anderson at 9.52 a. M, instead of
10.4O as heretofore. This change does
not affect the schedule on the main line
from Greenville to Columbia, and hence
the passengers have to lay over at Bolton.
There is no good reason why this change
should be made. It connects from Wal
halla with the Air Line, running to At
lanta, but this does not accommodate
more than one or two passengers week,
while the change incommodes perhaps
one or two hundred week at Belton. It
is annoying without cause.
Nearly every farmer We meet is little
blue about the cotton crop. Some say
their crop will not be as good as it was
last year, while there are few who think
that an average crop will be made In the
( County. The weed, in some sections, is
large, but it is not fruited as 1t should be.
The crop now depends good deal on
the fall season. An early fall would les
sep the yield of cotton at least twenty
five per cent. in most sections. We were
ten or twelve miles east of the city few
days ago, and the crops in that section
look very well. A good portion of that
section, however, did not suffer by tho
drouth, and the cotton did not "shed off"
.as it did In other sections. If the crop
does prove short, the County will be in a
